Lol, it was a tad warm.
Let's hope the suit carries some of the driving skills still in it

Not too much mind.
Where did you get the suit from Nick, did you try it on before buying or chance it on a mail order?

Payne's Motorsport iirc.

Jay's old suit. Hence the skills quote.
He was mincing around in it a Cadwell too. Lol.

Cheers bbz! X
I thought I looked pretty damn epic in it if I do say so myself!
Luckily they came out!
Good news is I've passed my medical, so onto booking an ARDs exam ASAP!

you still not done this yet??
He now has some tyres did you get the cutoffs and extinguisher sorted? Is the car all ready to go?
did you get the cutoffs and extinguisher sorted? Is the car all ready to go?As I've just text you lol, yeah it's all okay! Just need to get the car booked in somewhere to have the rest of the bits and pieces sorted as works taking most of my time now as its getting busy!
Car will be road legal from tomorrow also, which reminds me, I need to check it still has MOT. Lol

Make sure you get the right weekend off.

Week off booked, so I can get everything done. Better double check the dates though...

Glad to hear it, I was worried when i sent them off with Tony that your mum would struggle with those
Few more bits ordered that I had overlooked, oil catch tank, aerocatches, tow straps plus all the wiring bits/fittings for the cut off switches, certainly adding up! Currently collating a price list of everything that I've got/is required to go racing, pretty darn surprising how much stuff there is and I'm sure I've missed stuff off! Just need to fit it all still!
Also, for those on Facebook I've set up a Failsport Racing page so you can follow my progress etc on there. Its www.facebook.com/FailsportRacing

Nice one Nick, I know what you mean mate. Just started following on FB
Racing for this year is now all over.
Damaged/torn disk in my back and issue with one of my pelvic bones means I won't be doing anything on the car/driving/sports for a while.
Gutted isn't the word...

Oh no
I'm sorry to hear this nick, gutted for you mate. I hope you make a full recovery soon!After having a chiropractor session straight away Adam, he reckons its an underlying issue. Work and pulling my back about 4 years ago, I didn't do anything though yesterday to actually trigger the pain I have now.
Unsure yet Mike, all depends on how I'm feeling and whether the pains gone.

Sad Bear.Truly gutted for you mate, and I hope it mends well. Not something you want to take lightly, and if it means missing a season to get it sorted, it is the right decision, no matter how annoying. X

Any excuse to get out of doing ARD's test.
Gutted to see this Nick hope your back gets better soon! Was really looking forward to seeing how you got on at donny.

Ah, nightmare! Does this mean IV is around the corner?
No me neither tbh with regards to the back! Going to cost a fortune to sort it all out with chiropractor/posture/strengthening sessions, but in reality you only have one chance with backs so you can't put a price on them!

Cheers babz, I'll be out there next year that's for sure! It gives me time to tinker with the car more and test in it so every cloud has a silver lining so to speak.

After cancelling it early Monday, went to the chiropractor session in the afternoon and the dude asked was I ready for me test the next day! Bit annoyed as he said not to do anything but at least MSV were good and have let me rebook it within 3 months for no charge so all's not too bad.
Gutted to see this Nick
Me too mate, love Donny so would have been a great place to do my first race! Hopefully one of the first races next year is at my favourite and most 'happy' to go around track, Brands Hatch.
Piss off Benny! X
No chance, cars still having bits done to it whilst I'm off, albeit only light stuff mind!
I'll take your car around Donny and do your ARDS nick
I'm sure you would Jamie!
Hurry up and get all my spare bits in the shed bought before one of the other new racers has them! Hopefully do a little update with the car tomorrow if the weathers nice and I can be bothered to get out of bed!
Nick
Ards booked for Friday 15th November now that my backs better enough to take the potential pressure of circuit driving, need to have a quick look over the 'Go Racing' pack to familiarise myself with everything again! Lol.
Really need to update what I've done so far to the car and also get on with getting the final couple of parts fitted to finish it off so I can get some track time in and get used to the way the car drives.

Nice one Nick, is that at Brands?
Yes matey, need to get it buttoned up before the years out so I don't have to pay for another medical.
Good point, TrackDriver have a good article this month about the ARDS test, heres the online edition http://ezine.trackdriver.com/TD17/#/38-39/
Good little read, he makes some valid points in that also! Glad that I know most of that so it shouldn't be too much of a shock when I come to do my test.
Would definitely prefer to do my ards in one of my cars rather than the Peugeots I think they use as you're much familiar with something you've driven before, either way I'll be alreet!
